In MySQL, you can name the database in the query, but you can't name the
server. Doing something like what you have suggested is actually quite
complicated because it would impinge on the query caching. More and more
I feel that the best solution for Exim is to have some kind of SQL proxy
daemon that takes the complexity out of Exim itself.
